Psalm 148:7-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
II
7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
you sea monsters and all the deeps of the sea;(A)
8 Lightning and hail, snow and thick clouds,
storm wind that fulfills his command;
9 Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars;(B)
10 Animals wild and tame,
creatures that crawl and birds that fly;(C)
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all who govern on earth;
12 Young men and women too,
old and young alike.
13 Let them all praise the Lord’s name,
for his name alone is exalted,
His majesty above earth and heaven.(D)
14 [a]He has lifted high the horn of his people;
to the praise of all his faithful,
the Israelites, the people near to him.
Hallelujah!
